More outrage. More fist-shaking.

I may need to borrow that slide from you; the frame broke for my print, and I then put the print somewhere 'safe.' <BR/><BR/>Annette--thanks for the good wishes. I'll keep you posted.<BR/><BR/>RaJ--I think the Board won't appeal; it's an election year, and the judge probably won't hand down his decision unti the fall. I'm sure the electorate would freak out if any more of the Town's budget went to the lawyers. We'll see.Luisa Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310698422276446909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-81072366320594047302007-05-05T20:08:00.000-04:002007-05-05T20:08:00.000-04:00If the Board loses, could they appeal the judge's ...If the Board loses, could they appeal the judge's decision?

I have no doubt whatsoever that Patrick's contributions to the evening were voiced in calm and reason. Like you, I believe that libraries should be considered a national treasure, and protected as such. I have the original slide to which you refer at the beginning of your entry--loved that car! That was a period of social and political upheaval, and RFK seemed to your father and me America's best and brightest hope. I well remember watching the news-feeds from the Ambassador Hotel that June night in horror and disbelief.luisajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560524920247413195noreply@blogger.com
